Graduate Certificate (440 AA) and Graduate Diploma (440 AB)
The Graduate Certificate and Diploma enable students to take undergraduate subjects, from across several faculties, as part of a Graduate qualification. These courses assist students to complete an undergraduate major in an area not covered by their prior undergraduate qualification, as preparation for transition to the Postgraduate Certificate or Postgraduate Diploma within the Graduate Environmental Program.
The Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma do not acknowledge specialised paths of study. However with careful planning, in consultation with an Academic Advisor, students are ensured of taking subjects that are relevant and directly linked with their interest area.
You will gain entry to the Graduate Diploma or the Graduate Certificate if you have:
• an undergraduate degree in an unrelated discipline.
